MFDS ingredient code M254495
Lactulose Concentrate is a synthetic disaccharide that breaks down in the intestines to produce acids. It is primarily used to alleviate constipation and lower ammonia levels in patients with hepatic encephalopathy. It helps facilitate bowel movements by improving the intestinal environment.
Lactulose is broken down by beneficial bacteria in the intestines to produce acids such as lactic acid and acetic acid. These acids lower the acidity in the intestines, soften the stool, and promote intestinal motility. It also converts ammonia to ammonium ions, reducing blood ammonia levels.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Unlike natural sugars, lactulose is not broken down by digestive enzymes, so it acts only in the intestines. Unlike other laxatives, it metabolizes in the intestine by intestinal microorganisms to produce acids, which is characteristic. This makes it effective for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy.
Even with the same ingredient, strength, dosage form and how it is taken can differ.
